India Adds 2–3 New GCCs Every Week in 2025: A Pulse on the Momentum

1. Introduction

Global Capability Centres (GCCs) are booming in India, with 2 to 3 new centres launching every week in 2025. This sustained growth underscores India’s rising strategic importance in global operations. In this blog, we explore:

• How Sansovi GCC-as-a-Service streamlines this journey
• Why GCCs are flourishing in India
• What this rapid momentum means for businesses

2. The GCC Boom: By the Numbers

• 2–3 centres per week, nearly 100 additional GCCs launched in just the first half of 2025.
• India already hosts around 1,700–1,800 GCCs as of mid-2025.
• A projected 120 mid-market GCCs will be added by 2026, creating approximately 40,000 new jobs, mainly in Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
  

3. What’s driving this explosive growth?

• AI & R&D acceleration: Companies like McDonald’s, Tesco, and Bupa have moved AI and analytics hubs to India to circumvent talent shortages in the U.S. and Europe. India now handles advanced data work and core innovation.
• Tier‑2 and tier‑3 expansion: Government support and policy incentives are shifting GCCs beyond traditional hubs, aiming for geographic inclusivity.

4. Strategic Implications for Businesses

• Innovation over arbitrage. GCCs have matured into innovation engines contributing ~55% of revenue in R&D and big data workflows
• Rapid deployment & scalability. Market momentum demands a swift GCC setup where traditional builds (6–12 months) fall short.
• Operational diversity. With GCCs in multiple cities, companies can tap varied talent pools and cost structures.
